“What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.”

“Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive”

“People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.”

“I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes -- it's about all kinds of change”

“Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.”

“Respect is not creative ... Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore — and then you get something out of her.”

“Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.”
